War Prisoner

Chapter 25: Inch by inch rotten

Views:

Jiang Tangzhou groped to arrange the blind chess piece, and played the first chess piece.

For him, there are only two greatest meditations, one is to practice calligraphy, and the other is to play chess. He prefers to play chess more, and whenever he can't calm down, he likes to play a game with himself.

Although it was played against him, Jiang Tangzhou could often play a game of chess for several days because he knew exactly what his other self was going to do next.

Halfway down, he suddenly felt a little tired.

In the next second, when I reached out to touch a chess piece I had played before, I found that it was empty.

"Aren't you bored playing chess alone?"

Yin Wenzheng's voice sounded.

Jiang Tangzhou froze for a moment, then asked, "When did you come?"

"It seems that you are not in a good condition today." Yin Wenzheng pushed the "car" forward and said, "You didn't even hear me coming in."

Jiang Tangzhou asked him: "Are you here to play chess with me?"

"if not?"

Jiang Tangzhou smiled, first touched the situation on the field at the moment, and then pushed out a "pawn".

Yin Wenzheng laughed lowly, and said, "This is useless work."

Jiang Tangzhou said casually, "Aren't you also doing useless work?"

"How can what I have done be considered useless?"

The two played charades for a long time.

Jiang Tangzhou finally pushed "Jiang" out and said, "Why did you do that?"

"You really didn't disappoint me," Yin Wenzheng said with a deep smile, "I knew a long time ago that when you heard the news, you would definitely think that I did it."

Jiang Tangzhou said: "This method is a bit too low-handed."

"Is it so important that you can't be low-level?" Although Yin Wenzheng was still smiling, a cold chill suddenly appeared in his eyes, "He ordered people to smear poison on the arrows, so wouldn't he be low-level? Are you sure?" Don't forget, that poison has gone through your body once."

"...you," Jiang Tangzhou hesitated for a moment, put his hand on the chess piece, but did not continue to move forward, "Is it because of me?"

He was a little cautious, as if he had got something, but he couldn't be sure that it really belonged to him.

Yin Wenzheng said calmly, "Otherwise?"

The chess pieces in Jiang Tangzhou's hands did not fall for a long time.

The faint candlelight in the darkness was jumping up and down, and in Jiang Tangzhou's eyes, he could see a blur of light and shadow, constantly fluctuating back and forth in front of his eyes.

Jiang Tangzhou could only look at the light and shadow, and said after a long, long time, "Why?"

"No reason." Yin Wenzheng's tone didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, but he just said very flatly, "My people have been bullied, of course I will send them back with an eye for an eye, no matter what the method is, It doesn’t matter if it’s done in a dirty way or not.”

After he finished speaking, he helped Jiang Tangzhou drop the chess piece, and then he took another step: "What are you standing there for?"

Jiang Tangzhou touched the place where he was, and pushed another one himself. The two of them pushed and pulled back and forth several times, and Jiang Tangzhou finally spoke again: "The situation in the court is ever-changing, and it's hard to find. You have a special status. Forbearance is the most important thing, and the overall situation is taken into consideration." He paused, then lowered his voice, and said the last sentence, "I can see that you want to sit in that position."

Jiang Tangzhou thought about this sentence countless times in his mind, but never said it.

Because he still doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Heng Kingdom, one Qin Kingdom is enough for him, if there is another Heng Kingdom, his life will be even more tiring.

The reason why he chose to make this deal with Yin Wenzheng at the beginning was also because Yin Wenzheng said that he could be protected from being involved in the constant disputes.

Although he has been more or less involved in these past few months, Yin Wenzheng has indeed kept his promise and protected him from the beginning to the end.

"Then what do you think..." Yin Wenzheng used the "elephant" to capture Jiangtangzhou's army, the corner of his mouth curled up, showing a smile, "What should I do?"

"The prince has won me in every game of chess. If he wants to fight with others, he won't lose." Jiang Tangzhou took another step back.

It was as if the soft tentacles he stretched out with great difficulty encountered something that frightened him, and they retracted again.

Yin Wenzheng laughed again, and said: "Ling and Jin are just pussies, nothing to be afraid of. Although Ling Xunqin has a bit of a heart, he doesn't know how many dirty things he has done behind his back. Can have his head."

This was the first time Yin Wenzheng had confessed to him after the two had a relationship.

Jiang Tangzhou knew that Yin Wenzheng seemed casual, but in reality he was deeply scheming, and he would never trust someone easily. He was willing to say such things to himself, which meant that he already felt that he was on the same front as him.

So Jiang Tangzhou didn't want to be silent anymore, so he nodded slightly and said, "I think the same way as you do."

Yin Wenzheng sighed, raised his eyebrows and continued: "The only thing that can threaten me is Ling Yingchong. To trip him up, there are too many facts to think about."

Jiang Tangzhou said: "For example, the border gate of your Hengguo will not work without him."

Yin Wenzheng patted Jiang Tangzhou on the shoulder: "Heroes see the same thing."

Jiang Tangzhou asked back, "You've told me so much, so you're not afraid that I'm a hard worker?" There was a bit of teasing in his tone.

"You still hold a grudge." Yin Wenzheng looked at him with a half-smile, "If I was afraid, why would I tell you so much?"

Jiang Tangzhou smiled and said nothing.

"But I know that you still have a lot of guard against me," Yin Wenzheng said, "but it doesn't matter, it's normal to be guarded—at least for now, you are willing to take that step forward, aren't you?"

Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I never said I would help you, I just chatted with you."

Yin Wenzheng burst out laughing. He walked around Jiangtangzhou twice while laughing, looking him up and down. When Jiangtangzhou frowned, he stopped, sighed, and said, "Jiangtangzhou , do you want revenge?"

Jiang Tangzhou froze suddenly.

"I can help you." Yin Wenzheng said, "Let me tell you the truth, this is the deal I really want to make with you."

Jiang Tangzhou raised his eyes: "What do you mean?"

"You help me become the emperor of Hengguo," Yin Wenzheng said bluntly, "I will help you avenge Qinguo."

Ting Yu entered the door, and wanted to see if Jiang Tangzhou was asleep, but saw a figure standing in the corner, and she was so frightened that she immediately lifted a stool and wanted to hit him.

Yin Wenzheng turned around, held Tingyu's arm with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other: "It's me."

After closing the door, Ting Yu's mouth was freed, and he frowned and said: "Why did the prince stay in our lord's room in the middle of the night without making a movement, almost scared me into a sickness!"

"What's wrong with you?" Yin Wenzheng looked at her with a half-smile, "Why, do I need to report to you first to see the lonely princess?"

Only now did Ting Yu regain his strength, how could he get along with Yin Wenzheng as if he was his own father, without mentioning his superiority or inferiority at all. Clearing his throat hurriedly, he said: "The prince was joking. I was in a hurry just now, so... I hope the prince doesn't mind."

Yin Wenzheng chuckled lightly: "Come on, stop putting on airs in front of me. With your temper, only Ah Tang can support it."

Ting Yu stuck out her tongue and said, "It's still the crown prince who knows about Ting Yu."

Yin Wenzheng shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't think Ah Tang has had a good rest these days, but what happened to him?"

Although Tingyu knew that Jiang Tangzhou lost a lot of weight because of his frequent "illnesses" recently, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only vaguely say, "My father always suffers from insomnia recently, that's why..."

Yin Wenzheng nodded thoughtfully: "Tomorrow, I'll find an imperial doctor to take a look at him, but something is wrong with his body, that's fine, you should step back first."

Ting Yu was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would reveal his secrets, so he immediately said don't turn around and slip away.

Yin Wenzheng stood at the door for a while before leaving.

Jiang Tangzhou had a long-lost dream at night.

He hadn’t dreamed of the scene he often dreamed about before he lost his crown, but tonight, because of Yin Wenzheng’s words, “Do you want revenge?”, his heart, which had been calm for a long time, started beating wildly again. It's like a flood that has opened the gate, rushing out crazily.

It's not that he dreamed of his mother and concubine who had passed away for a long time, let alone the person who fell out with him later, he just dreamed that once when he was a child, he stayed in the cold palace, fell asleep at night, and suddenly felt Something moved under my legs, and when I opened my eyes, I found two or three mice eating the rotten flesh on my legs.

When the concubine mother was still alive, he was most afraid of rats because they felt disgusting.

Every time he encountered rats, a boy would be so scared that he would hide behind his mother and concubine.

But that time he was exceptionally calm, he even watched the two or three mice eat a few mouthfuls, and he couldn't even feel the pain.

Finally, he picked up a piece of dead wood from the side and drove the mice away.

Although he didn't cry or make trouble, but for a long time after that, he couldn't close his eyes at night, and whenever someone came to deliver rotten food, he would sleep. Because I dare not sleep at night, I have to sleep during the day. After sleeping for a long time, I will hear a maid from the Leng Palace say that he looks like his former mother and concubine. He is in a nightmare. Sooner or later he will become a madman .

They didn't know that he didn't sleep at night, and only dared to stare at the mouse hole in the dark with his eyes open. If any mice wanted to get out of it, they would stab them hard with a wooden stick, so that they would not dare to come out. . It was the only thing he could do at that time.

But in tonight's dream, there were so many rats that they swarmed up, and he couldn't stop them at all, so those rats ate not only the rotting meat on his legs, but also every piece of meat on his body.

Since the death of his mother and concubine, he has rotted inch by inch.

Then it never got better.
